Write a physiotherapy discharge summary that closes the episode properly — outcomes against the goals that were set, what the patient is leaving with, what would bring them back, and what the referrer actually needs to know. Use when asked to write a discharge summary, close an episode of care, write to a referrer at discharge, or discharge a patient who has not fully recovered. Produces the outcome summary against baseline, the self-management plan, the flare-up and return criteria, the referrer letter, and the record of incomplete goals. A documentation framework for a licensed clinician.
“Write a discharge summary for a patient finishing rehab”“Discharge a patient who has plateaued”“Write a letter to the GP at discharge”“What should the patient leave with at discharge?”“How do I document discharging someone who stopped attending?”
What to give it
▸The initial assessment — the goals set and the baseline markers
▸The final measures — the same markers, at discharge
▸The episode — number of visits, what was done, and how the patient responded
▸The reason for discharge — goals met, plateau, patient choice, non-attendance, or onward referral
▸What the patient is leaving with — the maintenance programme and any equipment or advice
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Outcomes are reported against the goals originally set, in the patient's words
✓Both baseline and discharge values are shown
✓The maintenance plan is minimal, specific, and has a stated duration
✓Flare-up guidance explains what a flare does and does not mean
✓Return criteria are specific circumstances, not 'if it gets worse'
✓The referrer letter leads with the outcome in one line
✓Unmet goals are recorded factually with what was recommended
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Goals invented at discharge.** Makes the summary meaningless and flatters the episode.
**Discharge values with no baseline.** The reader cannot tell whether anything changed.
**A maintenance programme as long as the treatment programme.** Nobody sustains it.
**No flare-up guidance.** The first flare is read as relapse and undoes the education.
**'Come back if it gets worse.'** Too vague to act on in either direction.
